As business communications become more diverse and sophisticated, advanced technology is necessary to keep pace with new trends and market demands. Unfortunately, most legacy phone systems cannot support the future of business communications needs. Case in point: Do you take business calls on your cell phone? Of course you do! Do your employees or sales force work remotely, from home or the road at least some of the time? Most likely. A study by web conferencing software company, PGi indicates that globally, 79% of office employees work remotely at least one day each week. And are your employees asking to bring their own devices to work? It’s a growing trend and one that can drastically reduce your initial expenditure in device acquisition. Legacy phone system providers, like Bizfon, will always struggle to accommodate these communications needs. Fortunately, small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) have options to overcome this challenge. **Modern communication applications once reserved for big businesses are now affordable to businesses of all sizes.** Through hosted phone services (aka VoIP), SMBs gain the capabilities needed to support diverse devices, connect remote workers to the office and streamline communications between employees and customers. These tremendous benefits are likely why **86% of small businesses are considering replacing traditional phone systems with cloud-based communications**, according to a recent Cisco survey. In this highly connected world where customers increasingly expect you to answer their call from virtually anywhere, at any time, the power of VoIP offers next-generation business communication tools to support all your emerging needs. > *79% of office employees work remotely at least one day each week.* #### About the author Greg Crews [Follow me on LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/greg-crews-95419022/) Greg Crews is the President and Owner of Crew-Tech.
